The Story of a Stanley Steamer (Softcover)

This is a wonderful journey to take. If you love a bit of nostalgia and a good read, buy this book and enjoy it. If you love old cars, buy it for its subject matter and enjoy it. If you have a fascination with steam and old steam cars, buy it for the detail on how these old steamers were built, driven, and maintained. If you own a Stanley Steamer, and don't already have a copy, then something is very wrong. This is a delightful read about a retired college professor turned water-powered wood mill operator, who becomes obsessed with owning a vintage Stanley Steamer. Even if you don't care much about cars at all, it's still a wonderfully written true story with loads of human interest. Jay Leno mentions this book on his website.
